CHAPTER 6

🎧: After Hours - The Weeknd

MELODIE'S POV

I woke up early on a tuesday morning. It was snowing the whole night which meant lots and lots of snow on the roads and sidewalks.

I stretched out my arms and legs and reached for my phone on the nightstand. The alarm had been going off for at least ten minutes because i refused to get out of my warm bed.

When i finally got the courage to turn it off there was no going back. I petted Lily who was still in bed with me and crawled out of my bed, making my way to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face. Then i curled my hair and did my makeup like i always would. While brushing out my curls, my phone buzzed.

you know it
don't be late it's freezing.

I put down my mobile and made my way to the wardrobe from which i picked out a short black dress and put the same coloured tights underneath to keep me warm.

Then i found a long sleeve black t-shirt on which i pulled over one of the old Bayern jerseys. To finish the look i found my black boots and grabbed my puffer jacked from the wardrobe.

I was ready just in time for Michael to arrive at my driveway. It was the first time we'd show up together at the Training Center.

I quickly got inside of his car since it was cold and it started snowing again. When he saw me a small smile appeared on his face.

I kissed his cheek and proceeded to buckle up. He didn't react to the small gesture in any way. Instead he begun to pull out of the driveway.

- Do you have a plan? - He started and i straight off knew what he was talking about.

- Not quite. Pray and hope for the best? - I replied making him laugh out.

- We all will. - He promised and pulled into the parking lot which was in the basement.

The two of us got out of the car and walked towards the entrance arm to arm, with his being wrapped around my neck.

I said my goodbyes and made my way to the office where i had a lot of work already waiting for me. Yeah maybe i was working at home but some things still needed to be done here.

We had a press conference in three hours for which none of the staff was overly excited. They'd always ask the same questions, just about different players.

I had just logged into my computer when someone knocked on the door. I let them in and saw my boss standing in the frame.

- Do you mind assisting me on the conference at all kid? - He asked with a wide smile as approaching my desk.

- Not at all. - I replied with a smile and hugged Vincent for a hello.

- We all missed you around here. Matter of fact we've been struggling quite a lot. - He confessed as walking around to the front of my desk.
